The timer contacts send the voltage to the centrifugal switch which connects the motor's "start" windings, and when the motor is up to speed, it switches to the "run" windings, if the motor slows down too much it'll switch back to the "start" windings.

Either the switch is bad or the motor has a problem keeping up to speed (or because of the tranny)

or the contacts in the timer are still "bouncing"

After leaving this Earth, "Do you want the smoking or non-smoking section?"

Well, I checked around for a new timer and there are none to be had unless I wait 1 week or pay for next day shipping. I am going to take apart the timer (I know, that's not a good idea) and try to see if I can do something with it.

what about the other timer? I have made a washer out of 2 washers. Are both timers shot?

The timers I have are different and I don't think they are interchangeable. One is for the Kenmore 90 series and the other is for a Whirlpool Gold Ultracare HD Supercapacity+. This one does not have as many cycle options as the Kenmore.

The model # for the Whirlpool is GST9344EQ0.

The timer for the Whirlpool is good, but I cannot say for sure if the Kenmore timer is good or not.

Here is what I have done in the past I removed the whole back with the control harness and all that and I attach that to the base of another machine.The only thing holding the back on is 3 screws at the base. The whole control panel harness Downspout,watervalve will all lift off the base and attach to another machine. Go for it. What have you got to lose?
